American teenager whose death was ruled a suicide was 'raped and beaten,' new information suggests

Once ruled a suicide, prosecutors are now treating the case as a rape and murder, based on phone logs, crime scene photos, and interviews with suspects. Sixteen-year-old Alex Villamayor died more than two and a half years ago, during a visit to a friend’s family ranch in Encarnacion, Paraguay. The last time he spoke to his father, former Paraguayan congressman Luis Villamayor, he called to report that he and his friends were drinking mushroom tea on the property.
